Receiving industry accolades for new and conceptual work, Centerbrook was also recognized for transformations to existing buildings. Shepherd’s Run, a 1930s manor house turned boutique hotel and resort, received the Chicago Athenaeum’s prestigious American Architecture Award, which celebrates excellence in architecture and urbanism in the United States. The restoration of Demerec Laboratory at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory garnered praise from Docomomo US, an organization dedicated to the preservation of Modernist movement architecture. The renowned historic laboratory was honored with a Design Award of Excellence, Docomomo US’s top award.
